From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and the media. Invisible Women reveals how in a world built for and by men we are systematically ignoring half of the population, often with disastrous consequences. Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the profound impact this has on us all.

Reviews for Invisible Women: the Sunday Times number one bestseller exposing the gender bias women face every day
Revelatory – it should be required reading for policy and decision makers everywhere
Nicola Sturgeon HELL YES. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things – a monumental piece of research
Caitlin Moran Revelatory, frightening, hopeful. A secular Bible
Jeanette Winterson This book is a devastating indictment of institutionalised complacency and a ... Read morerallying cry to fight back… Invisible Women should propel women into action. It should also be compulsory reading for men
Christina Patterson
Sunday Times
Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don't know - and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.
Cordelia Fine Invisible Women is a game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly…the ambition and scope – and sheer originality – of Invisible Women is huge; no less than the story of what happens when we forget to account for half of humanity. It should be on every policymaker, politician and manager’s shelves
Melanie Reid
The Times
Hugely readable, packed with facts and insight. An important book written with humour and flair
Robert Webb The thoroughness of Invisible Women doesn’t detract from its absolute readability. This is entertaining, scholarly and so very important.
Adam Rutherford Here are the facts! Caroline Criado Perez shines her penetrating gaze on the absence of women from the creation of most societal norms – from algorithms to medicinal doses to government policy. Knowledge is power – we all need to know how our systems work if we want change. Arm yourself with this book and press it into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant!
Helena Kennedy Invisible Women is an absorbing cornucopia of thought-provoking facts - fascinating, alarming and face-palming in equal measures. Caroline Criado-Perez shows up the shortcomings of a world designed for men by men. The consequences of treating men as the default option, or women just as smaller men – if they get considered at all - has wide-reaching implications for everything (and everyone) from snow clearing to seat-belts and many branches of medicine. I shall certainly think of this book next time I have a heart attack, a car crash or just want to go to the toilet at the theatre.
